NOT BADLY TREATED.
And Yet, That II the Way The
Report ti0es Conserving
Belle Stuart.

As mentioned In the LgpaEa Sat-
arday, a young girl Of sixteen, fairly
good looking, named Belle Stuart.
was arrested at the Union Depot by
officer Lane, upon the strength OF a
telegram. from the city Marshal OF
Fulton, The girl was held by Lane
until late Monday afternoon, when she
was released, the Marshal not return
ing her 10 Fulton. The girl was ac-
companied by her sister and brother
n,law, who we're taking her to st.
Louis, because, they said, she had
been ill-treated by the family with
whom she had lived for the past ten
years. The family mentioned is that
of W. w. Tuttle in Fulton, and
Miss Stusrt claimed they had no legal
right to detain her, though whether
this is the truth or not, ia not known.
Judge Forrist applied Saturday for q
writ Of hdbaes corpus before Judge
Edwards, and the case vas contin-
ued until that evening at 7 O'Clock,
when the girl and her companions
appeared on time. The case was
again continued until II O'Clock Mon
day, but in the meantime Marshal
Lane had released the girl as be
could not see his authority TO hold
her longer, and the party went on to
st. Louis last night.
A prominent citizen of Fulton told
a LEDGER reporter Monday that
public sympathy in Fulton was
strongly in favor of the girl, and il
was believed that she was not treated
in a strictly proper manner, though
he could not say that she was moi
legally bound to the Turtles, as she
claimed she vas not. The girl stated
Saturday evening that she had MOI
oeen given good school advantages,
The gentleman from Fulton said The
girl was not dressed in as neat man
ner as n of her age should be, ant
for that reason was kept from church
and out of decent society a grea'
deal.
A STATEMENT FROM FUTILE.
Young Mr.. TIttle, a son of ". W
Tuttle, of Fulton, was in the city
Monday and was seen by a LEDGE
reporter. Mr.. futile exhibited pa
pers showing that w. w. Tuttle hat
been made guardian of the girl in
1881. He said that any statement
made that Belle Stuart had been il
treated by them was false and mad:
solely to increase public sympathy il
her behalf. He said she always hat
good dresses, and plenty of them
MI. futile said that the girls broth
er-in-law, whose name is King OF
Cain,of st. Louis, came to Fulton th,
day before the girl left, and TALKED
with them about taking her away
The girl did not want to leave, Mr.
-.
Tuttle says, and he thinks the mai
talked her into running off. Bell
seemed always satisfied with he
home, and only wanted to 60 to ST
Louis for a visit Fair week. TIL
young gentleman from Fulton In

not wanted in his family against he

brought back from st. Louis, though
he could not talk for his father, w

The magnitude Of this work can be
understood only BY those Who are "a
miliar With the complicated system Of
accounts which it Is necessary for every

The railroad managers are greatly re
tarded In this work BY the failure of
President Cleveland to appoint the Com

There are many points in the Law which
are more OE,Jess obscure, or In the inter
probation Of which, ct least, neither
lawyers nor railroad men fully aQrss.
These points would ordinarily be Iefs to

work Of preparing for the change would

however, does not yet exist, and there 10
